| 9 | ## When to use |
| 10 | Use for failures, flakes, wrong outputs, crashes, and regressions. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ## Non-goals |
| 13 | - Do not jump to a fix before reproduction/localization when the bug is unclear. |
| 14 | - Do not treat “run all tests” as debugging by default. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ## Workflow |
| 17 | 1. Reproduce or gather the strongest available failure signal. |
| 18 | 2. Minimize the case. |
| 19 | 3. Localize to component/file/line. |
| 20 | 4. State root cause vs symptoms. |
| 21 | 5. Fix only when authorized; otherwise hand back a diagnosis with evidence. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ## Output shape |
| 24 | - Symptom |
| 25 | - Reproduction |
| 26 | - Localization |
| 27 | - Root cause |
| 28 | - Fix status / next step |
